Doorstepped

I've been doorstepped - by a politician.

There I was, minding my own business on Abingdon Green, when a Government whip strode up to me, camera crew in tow (well his researcher had a digital camera) and started firing questions at me.

The end result has ended up, much to my surprise, on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-8JuZ2l1PE I wish I could say that I'd been quoted out of context, had my privacy invaded or stitched up in the editing but I have no defence.

Fortunately my interviewer, Huw Irranca-Davies MP, is expected to be promoted later today and will presumably have less time in future to wander around Abingdon Green doorstepping innocent members of the media.
